LAMP-BURNER REST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 458,957, datedSeptember 1, 1891.

Application filed November 10, 1890. Serial No. 370,943. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIET KATHARINE TVEBSTER, of Boston, in the countyof Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulLamp-Burner Rest, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan ofone form of my device, and Fig. 2 a view showing it ready for use. Fig.3 is an edge view of the modification shown in Fig. 4, and Fig. 4 a planof a modification.

The object of my invention is to provide a rest for lamp-burners whilethe lamp is being filled; and my invention is a rest made up of a hook,a lug, and an extension to support the burner, the hook being adapted tohook into the mouth of the lamp, while the lug engages the outer surfaceof the lamp and so supports the device in place to receive the burner.

In the drawings illustrating my new device, a is the hook, a the lugs,and a the extension upon which the burner is placed. The device shown isformed of bent wire and in this form has two lugs a. Then the device isused, hook at is hooked into mouthb of the lamp, the lugs a rest againstthe outer surface of the lamp, and the burner is placed on extension aabove the table, so that both hands of the person filling the lamp arefree and danger of getting oil on the table or cloth is removed. \Vhenthe lamp is filled,the device is removed and the burner put in place.

shown in their patents in that the lug is a bend which is extended onone side into a hook and on the other side into an extension, on whichthe burner is laid when the lamp is filled, whereas in G. S. VVhitesrest (Patent No. 346,968) the lug is the side of a tray depending from awire and secured thereto by vertical links, and in J. F. Vhites rest(Patent N 0. 364,789) the lug is attached to a tray by a bent wire,which, while forming a lug, is not extended into the burner-supportingextension.

What I claim is- A lamp-burner support made up of a bent metal lug at,having an integral extension on each side, one extension a forming ahook and the other extension a a support for the burner, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.
